Jon Krakauer wrote an article in Outside Magazine about Chris McCandless, a young man who gave away everything he owned and lived in the wild. In 1992 Chris died in the Alaskan wilderness. The mystery surrounding the life and death of Chris is fascinating and Mr. Krakauer's skills in both researching Chris's life and telling Chris's story are incredible. Highly recommended
